Did you know, indoor air pollution can be five times worse in the home than outside? There are as many as 900 toxins that pollute indoor air, including Volatile Organic Compounds, found in perfumes, hair spray, cleaning agents, dry cleaning fluid, paints, lacquers, varnishes; and Formaldehyde, found in gas stoves, MDF, carpets and other furniture products.
Stretchable electronics is emerging as a promising new technology for next-generation wearable devices, according to a review published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.
Smart speakers that are typically used in one’s living room can be set to serve as an aid to physicians in hospital operating rooms, according to new study presented at the Society of Interventional Radiology’s 2019 Annual Scientific Meeting.
In the year after the placement of a CardioMEMS heart failure sensor—developed to wirelessly measure and track pulmonary artery pressures that can signal deteriorating heart failure—patients experienced a 58% decrease in hospitalization for heart failure, according to research presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 68th Annual Scientific Session.
Creating an innovative biosensor requires blood, sweat, and tears. And saliva, obviously. University of Cincinnati professor Jason Heikenfeld analyzed the capacity of these and other biofluids to check human health with small, portable sensors for the journal Nature Biotechnology.
A research team, headed by scientists at the Child Mind Institute, has developed an innovative wearable tracking device that uses multiple sensors—thermal, proximity, and inertial measurement—to achieve greater precision in position tracking.
Stem cells have been noted to multiply, proliferate, and differentiate. As a result of these qualities, leukemic stem cells are said to be highly malignant of all leukemic cells. Therefore, getting an insight into how leukemic stem cells are controlled has become a crucial area of cancer study.
Early diagnosis of gastric cancer based on the exhaled breath of a person has now become a reality, thanks to a tiny sensor device called SniffPhone which is presently in its prototype phase.
Magnetic field sensors built by physicists at Saarland University are breaking sensitivity records and paving the way for an entire range of probable new applications, from non-contact measurements of the electrical activity in the human brain or heart to spotting ore deposits or archaeological remains buried underground.
A new type of optical nano-sensors has been suggested by young researchers from ITMO University.
